At CNM Workforce Training Center in conjunction with the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at CNM.Thank you to ALL the Attendees, Speakers, and Support Staff! The day was wonderful with networking and information overload. So many ideas and learning about new data sets. As I think back on my impressions of the day, I'm reminded of a discussion with a nervous first time attendee. She confided that she is an introvert and there were a lot of people in the room. I assured her that we were all into data and most of us where introverts. She said she felt better and might be able to talk with others! Another attendee told me he had so many ideas that he was exited to go back to work with them.
Linked below are the PowerPoints and the video from the day. The PowerPoints were so full of great stuff that the server had trouble loading them all!
